Fiat Topolino Vilebrequin
The new Fiat Topolino Vilebrequin is a stylish beach car inspired by the French Riviera. It also signals that Stellantis plans to significantly increase its electric vehicle production at its factory in Morocco.
It’s similar to the Mercury Villager Nautica or Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson but is based on the Dolcevita version of Stellantis’ electric microcar. With its open sides, soft retractable roof, and fabric prints inspired by the French surfwear brand Vilebrequin, it’s designed for carefree summer adventures in France or Italy – the only two places it’s currently available.
Roland Herlory, CEO of Vilebrequin, says the collaboration between Fiat and Vilebrequin resulted in a high-quality, environmentally friendly, and whimsical design, perfect for capturing sun-soaked memories.
Like the standard Topolino, the Vilebrequin model has a top speed of 45 kph (about 30 mph) and a 5.5 kWh battery, offering up to 75 km (about 45 miles) of electric range. It starts at €13,490 ($15,810).

The Vilebrequin Topolino is the latest addition to Stellantis’ line of electric microcars, which also includes the Citroën Ami and Opel Rocks-e. Annual production of these small EVs has grown from 20,000 units and is expected to reach 70,000 in 2025.
Now, Stellantis’ Chief Operating Officer for the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region, Samir Cherfan, has announced plans to more than double production at the Kenitra Assembly Plant in Morocco. The factory’s annual capacity will increase from approximately 230,000 vehicles to over 530,000.
The factory opened in 2019, and the planned €1.2 billion ($1.4B) expansion is expected to create around 3,100 new jobs.

I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
